Feedback stabilization of bilinear coupled hyperbolic systems

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper studies the problem of stabilization of some coupled hyperbolic systems using nonlinear feedback. We give a sufficient condition for exponential stabilization by bilinear feedback control. The specificity of the control used is that it acts on only one equation. The results obtained are illustrated by some examples where a theorem of Mehrenberger has been used for the observability of compactly perturbed systems [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>].</p>
